This is not only with MS TT fonts but also with droid fonts. I use 'Droid Sans Mono' in konsole and have the same text output bug as above. Created attachment 42809 [details]
font rendering bug in konsole, 'ls -l' output
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** It seems there may be several related bug filings/dups (#213857, #217700, #226308, #230206, #233694). Through some trial and error I managed a workaround using .fonts.conf to just completely disable bolding of the my choice of console font: <match target="pattern"> <test name="family" qual="any"> <string>AndaleMono</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="weight"> <const>medium</const> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="embolden"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> Obviously, you'll want to substitute in whatever font you're using in Konsole. Obviously, this will disable bolding of that font *everywhere*, but it's worth it to get Konsole functioning again! FYI: This bug still exists in: Version 2.5 Using KDE Development Platform 4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0) [WORKAROUND]: If you want to use the MS or Droid fonts turn off "Draw intense colors in bold font" Settings -> Configure Profiles... -> [select your profile and click Edit Profile] -> Appearance tab *** Bug 230206 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The problem with Andale and Droid seems fixed since Qt-4.7.4, or Qt-4.8.0rc1. Can't reproduce the problems using Konsole-2.8 and Qt-4.7.4 or higher verions. |
